Looking at the length of the loom that's inside the 'box' of the instrument panel, I would be inclined to ease the loom back into the engine bay by about a inch, that would give enough length to allow some bend to give bit of strain relief to where the wires are terminated around the components in the engine bay.

then regulator & fuse box, attach them both to the panel on the bulkhead, strip the wire back using wire stripper tool and attach them to their specific point
That looks good. :BigThumb:
I am a great believer in using a bit of Vaseline where the wires are terminated to stop corrosion starting.
A cut down ink eraser can be used to shine up the insides of those terminals.

I'm not sure about the 2 groups of wires 3 white & 3 brown, they all go to the fuse box, but there are only 2 blocks to attach wires too, one block is a double?, I'm at a loss as I didn't dismantle this vehicle, so I guess I will be scouring the net for images (restored) as to where n how the wiring loom is attached etc.
The wiring loom has 3 distinct looms as this one from Vinwire is for blinkers & headlights etc.
There are three white covered wires that go to the single terminal in the fuse holder, they are;
1. From Ignition switch (IG) terminal. ( this (IG) terminal also has one other white wire attached, that feeds power to the warning lights on the instrument panel)
2. To the terminal on the fuel pump.
3. To (IGN) on the coil.
The other green marked wires get shared between the two fused terminals;
4. To ( B ) terminal of the petrol level gauge. (the green feed for the windscreen wiper is also taken from this ( B ) terminal on the petrol level gauge.)
5. To stop lamp switch. (This is the wire that blows the fuse when the brake switch gets full of wet mud!)
6. To the horn via a terminal in the round junction box.

------ I was looking through some reference material at home last night when I came across this handbook as issued to UK forces, it is about the Series 1's in service
If that hand book is based on the Rover publication, there should be a wiring diagram on page E-36.
If not I have posted a wiring diagram somewhere on the forum :( ,
--- What I need is a index of links and photographs that I can can refer quickly back to any postings that can be reused.
